Abstract
The main objective of the study was to find out the Job related causes of
hypertension among secondary school teachers and its impacts on their
performance. The study was descriptive in nature with quantitative design.
Cluster random sampling technique was used to draw sufficient sample size of
secondary school teachers. The target population of the study was 514
secondary school teachers. The sample size for teachers was 220, while all the
Head teachers were selected as a sample from all 68 cluster schools in Kot
Chhutta and DG Khan. As a research tool, two types of questionnaires were
developed. Questionnaire one was developed to find out the causes of
hypertension and the second questionnaire was about to find out the teachers’ performance. The results of the study showed that lack of facilities in schools,
additional assignments, travelling from long distances, the fear and threat of
PEEDA act, harsh attitude of the superiors, students’ indifferent attitude
towards learning, low salaries and status in society and uncooperative
attitude of the colleagues were the main causes of hypertension among the
school teachers. The performance of hypertensive female teachers was found
lower than the male teachers. The Government and school authorities were
recommended to try their best to overcome these hypertensive elements in
order to improve the performance of their teachers.
